    ~These are yummy! DD just ate four.
    I reduced the sugar to 1 cup so all the ingredients cost me $1. I cut the bars into 24 cookie sized pieces so about $.04-.05 per cookie bar.
    I especially like that these take just 4 minutes to prepare!~

    Yeah, I can't wait to hear what they are like! I have a friend who is allergic to chocolate, but loves that brownie texture. If these are brownieish, they would be perfect for her!

    I'm wondering if I can cut the margarine and sub some applesauce to cut some of the fat, or does that sound gross with the peanut butter? I'd also have to cut the sugar.
